I recently had a chance to attend a Mixology class lead by Joaquin Simo, owner and bartender at Pouring Ribbons. The event was curated by Leisurely App and if you haven't heard of Leisurely then let me put you on. Leisurely App curates fun culinary events like the mixology class I attended. If you peruse the app you’ll find dozens of culinary experiences that are perfect for a date or something new to try by yourself or with friends. The quality of the experiences is what really sticks out to me. This isn’t your $10 pizza making classes, this app truly provides the best experiences NYC has to offer. I highly recommend downloading the app and booking your first experience like I did.

I’ve been to cocktail making classes but this one took it up a notch. We explored old cocktail recipes as well as recipes that incorporated yellow and green Chartreuse. My favorite cocktail of the night was the Corpse Reviver #2. Not only is this drink strong but its amazingly smooth. The Corpse Reviver is a mix of Jin, Curacao, Cocchi Americano, lemon juice, and a dash of Absinthe. We learned to make around 5 cocktails and by the end of the class, everyone was feeling nice. I went to the class with my best friend and she had rave reviews of how informative and fun class was!

I am so excited the class was held at Pouring Ribbons. The cocktail program at PR has to be one of my favorite in the city. They change their menu every few months and it's insane  how they manage to always keep their menu crave worthy! The artisanship and thought that goes into each cocktail is unmatched. Every glass features flavors and ingredients that have fun to familiar tastes to adventurous and unique. I once had a cocktail with clarified milk in it and it was tasty AF! The bar is lowkey a speakeasy and the ambiance is always dark and sexy. If you go you’ll know why I love Pouring Ribbons so much. Also, shout out to the incredible bar staff they are all so talented and friendly it keeps me coming back!
